Llanwenarth Ultra parish

[Ian Sumpter]

Greetings, I am searching for the correct spelling of a hamlet located in the former parish of Llanwenarth Ultra, Monmouthshire.  I am having difficulty deciphering the writing from my gr. grandfather's birth registration dated 1842.  The writing suggests "Tufnell" or "Tuswell".   

Many thanks for the assistance.
cheers

Should be on this map but I cannot see anything obvious unless it’s very miss spelt

Like you, Mike, i spent a lot of time last evening looking at the nls maps, to no avail.

I think it would be best if Ian was able to put up a snip of the certificate showing the place so that we could interpret.

Type Tuswell, Monmouthshire into Google and it returns a number of entries, archeological and others. Mainly PDFs. Only on my phone so not searched the documents but may be worth a look.

Links suggest it used to be St Oswald.

For registration purposes Llanwenarth ultra and citra became part of Llanfoist in 1935, I might widen the search a bit, maybe south of the river, in case it was a very spread out parish.

Either way it’s a beautiful part of the county

I'm looking at Twyn Wenallt and Twyn Allws (west of Govilon) and wondering if the word has been abbreviated. It would be good to see a snip of the cert.

I wondered about Twyn Allws, looking at a modern ord.  survey,  but the map is huge, spread out on the floor and mazi cannot watch the cricket with me in the way
